FRITZ.
Remarkable Cures by the Laying on
OF Hands.


The late Henry Ward Beecher once said If
1t were possible for one man to be restored to
perfect health through the laying on Of the
hands he could see no reason why others
could not be cured by the same means This
has proved sound reason, for certainly since
DR.. Fritz has been at the Falmouth House
many remarkable cures have Teen recorded
from the most authentic sources.
Snatched from the Very Jaws Of
Death.
Mrs. |. A. Hollinsworth says: / was tax
en- WITH equity pneumonia. The pain in my
feet was intense-did not close my eyes for
over four days attacked my left elbow, my
urine turned thick and full Of mucus, bowels
had not moved for three days, spittle thick
rope phlegm, lack of breath and rattle In
the throat, considered by my physician as
forerunner of death. was bundled up and
taken to DR.. Fritz now lecturing in Con-
gress Hall. When / arrived there was "
ing in death like stupor, and heavy la
bored breathing. The doctor simply laid his
hand upon my chest and stroked the limbs.
In about 10 minutes the pain seemed to leave
me, and could breathe easier; in two hours
was quite comfortable, took a few spoonfuls
of nourishment, dropped into a comfortable
sleep, was removed home; in three days was
about the house again. Thus was l snatched
from the very jaws of death. and. what
seems most strange without one particle Of
medicine.
The Hand of God.
General Singleton, of South Carolina, on a
visit to his niece residing in this city called
upon DR.. Fritz for difficulty from which he
had been suffering for over II years-almost
entire deafness and partial paralysis of the
whole left side. The doctor told him that
his treatment would emphatically cure him.
In four hours his hearing was entirely re-
stored, and In less than three months he
completely recovered from his paralysis. He
says the doctor used no medicine; simply
the laying on of hands. The general says he
cannot understand it, unless it was the hand
of God.
Many cures of persons -wh5-have been
afflicted for years have been performed al
most daily before the audience at Congress
Hall. where the doctor is now delivering a
course of lectures, and healing the sick free.

Back and Shoulders

Are the parts usually attacked by rheumatism;
and the joints at the knees ankles, hips and
wrists are also sometimes affected. The cause of
rheumatism is Tactic acid circulating with the
blood which attacks the joints and causes the To-

disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies aud enrich

for rheumatism.

H0nOring the Aged.

The Germans have story about
little girl. named Jeanette, who
once went out to see grand review.
She found capital place from which
to see the soldiers pass, when she no.
ticed poor old woman in the crowd
trying very hard to get where she
could see. Jeanette said to herself: {:
Il should like to see the soldiers
march. but it isn't kind in me to stay
in this nice seat aud let that old WO-
man stay where she can't see any
thing | ought to honor old age, and
| will" So she called the old WO-
man, and, placing Ter in the nice
seat, fell back among the crowd.
There she had to tip-tOe and peep and
dodge about to catch glim! Sc Of the
splendid scene which she might have
seen fully and easily if she had kept
her place.
Some of the people said she was a
silly girl, and laughed at her. Jean
nette was rewarded in her heart for
her kindness to old age. A few min
ules later man covered with lace
elbowed his way through the crowd,
and said to her: "Little girl, will
you come to her ladyship ?" She
could not imagine who her ladyship
was, but she followed the man to a
scaffold within the crowd. A lady
met her at the top of the stairs. and
said: MY dear child, saw you
yield your seat to the old woman.
You acted nobly. Now, sit down
here by me you can see everything
here" Thus Jeanette was reward
ed a second time for honoring old
age. ge.-Erchmge.

A Great Country.

In 1870 the census returns showed
that the residence, and business real
estate was valued at $9,S91 ,00O, 600,
and is reasonably certain from the
progress made since that date that it
has increased fully one.ffth, amount
ing in 1887 to Sl2,000.000, 1000. The
railroads of the country in 1880 were
valued at $500, 900 900, and taking
$4,000 as the average per mile of
building and equipping, there has
been constructed since then enough
miles of railway to cost S2,700,000,.
900. That is in seven years half as
much has been expended in railroad
building rs in all the previous years
from the time when Stephenson's in
vention was first utilized. The out
put of coal has been increased ffom
70,000,000 tons in 1880 to 100000 tons
in lSS6-an advance Of 80 per cent.
The production of copper has more
than doubled and that of iron ore and
its products, iron and steel been
largely increased.
The growth ofthis country is SIM
ply marvellous, and can only be stop
ped by reversal of the Republican
policy of protection under which ev-
cry industry and all manner of useful
enterprises have been sustained ard
encouraged.

Randolph's Rebuke of Impiepy.

John Randolph, Randolph of
Roanoke" as he called himself, and
liked to be called, was early impress
sed with religious truth by faithful
Christian mother, of whom he him
self tells US, "that at one time he
might have become French infidel
but for the memory of his mothers
hand upon his head, as he knelt at
her side. to repeat after her the Lords
Prayer" He was always outspoken
in favor of religion, and especially 80
toward the latter years of his life. as
illustrations Of which the following,
among other anecdotes, are related
One day he was at dinner party
in Virginia, given to young army
officer. The latter. at the table, was
giving a glowing account of the
churches in Mexico. one of the finest
of which he said had been turned in
to barracks by the United States
&oops as trey entered Mexico andcg
General Scott. When one of the
ladies present exclaimed, "Why,
Captain. were you not afraid to do
it ?' The reply of the young captain,
in a somewhat boastful, if not sneer-
ing tone, was :" Oh, no for my part

And so would hog, sir" said Ran

the terrible rebuke the very air of the
room seemed to tingle, as the nerves
of the guests did," The officer felt
the rebuke and was silent, and well
he might he.
Soon after Randolph's recovery
from severe sickness in 1916, he was

politician with large and mixed
company. Among them," to use
his own words, twas a hoary-headed
debauchee, whose vices had COM

whose days seemed to he numbered.
And yet," said Randolph, "he had

suppose, that there were many kim
dred spirits there. happened to sit
directly opposite to him, and felt
so disgusted with his impiety that 1
could not help saying: Il think, sir,
that you might better have been
silent on that subject, for, judging
from appearances, YOU, in a short
time, will have ocular proof of the
power of that God whose existence

can afford to wait, sir, the few re-
naming days of your life, and in

Presidential contest of next year has
been settled in their favor by the fact
that the Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State in New York has
about 1900 plurality should remem-

the same Office had over $4,000 plu.

case was no more decisive than it is
in the other, the only conclusion that
it is safe to draw being that New
